Job description

Labor One is hiring Pipefitters for a shipyard in Pascagoula, MS.
Shipyard Experience is required. Housing assistance is available.
Please contact our team for more information!
Cell: (850)252-3345 or (251)385-0491
*Please send us a text if we don't answer*
JOB SUMMARY:
The pipefitter lays out, installs, and maintains vessels' piping systems, such as heat and power, hot water, hydraulic, air pressure and oil lines

They follow blueprints and use hand tools and shop machines. The pipefitter also cuts and bores holes in bulkheads and decks for installation of pipes. They operate shop machines to cut and thread pipe and pipe fittings.

Pipefitters connect pipes to fixtures and test systems for leaks, ensuring that the system meets specifications. An experienced pipefitter will often work with an apprentice, sometimes called a tacker/helper. The position is characterized by problem solving and precision work.

To be successful in this type of work, a pipefitter must be able to perceive pertinent detail in objects or blueprints.
The above description is general in nature. A pipefitter may be required to perform additional duties not specifically described herein.
HOURS:
Typical hours for Pipefitter range from 40 to 70 hours per week.
TRANSPORTATION:
It is the responsibility of the worker to provide his or her own transportation to and from the facility.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS
The pipefitter reads a layout in order to determine project requirements. This planning aspect of the job occurs contiguous with other tasks.
Physical Demands: This function requires the individual to stand on a continuous basis

Some degree of visual acuity is needed when deciphering a layout.
Essential Function: The pipefitter is responsible for pre-fabricating segments of pipe in a shop setting. This function may involve the use of shop machinery to bend or thread pipe, or install fittings, valves, traps, and thermostats.
Physical Demands: Standing is considered constant during this essential function, walking is considered occasional. In a shop setting, overhead hoists are generally available and the pipefitter will work in tandem with a less experienced man, called a tacker/helper or 3rd class pipefitter

Lifting and carrying are controlled and aided by the above mentioned characteristics. Company policy enables individuals to obtain assistance with items over 40lbs and may easily be observed. A shop setting allows for work to take place on an even, concrete surface.
Essential Function: Installation of piping systems onboard and within vessel modules, to include positioning, fastening, and connecting various systems, such as heat and power, hot water, hydraulic, air pressure and oil lines

The pipefitter will weld pipe support brackets, connect pipes to fixtures and, to a lesser degree, fabricate lengths of piping systems onboard or within vessel modules.
Physical Demands: Heavy items are positioned with a chainfall, overhead crane, or a come-along. Standing is again considered constant and walking occasional. Because workers commonly work in pairs, the 40lb maximum can generally be observed

The heaviest come-along can weigh in the 75lb range and could be handled occasionally during the course of a day, depending upon the job.
Essential Function: An additional function is that the pipefitter is responsible for testing installed systems to ensure specifications utilizing hydrostatic and other pressurized equipment.
Physical Demands: This function requires the individual to stand on a continuous basis. In addition to essential function number one, this function comprises the less physical, thinking and planning aspects of the job. Obviously, the more experienced pipefitters will bear the majority of the responsibilities outlined in functions one and four.
Essential Function: Regular and predictable attendance is required.
Other reasonable duties as assigned by management.
Labor One Staffing is an Equal Opportunity Employer

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status, or any other basis protected by local, state, or federal law.
